Commercial Description:
“With its golden hue and gentle complexity, the Terrapin Golden Ale brings refreshing to a whole new level. Its combination of flavor, smoothness and drinkability is difficult to find in most craft beers. Sometimes even hopheads like us want nothing more than to enjoy a beer that is crisp, smooth and refreshing. That is why we created the perfect session beer - the Terrapin Golden Ale.”

Pours a very light gold with two fingers of frothy head that turns into a crown with active carbonation. Smells..like a macro lager. I’m not sure why I get a corn scent as this isn’t an adjunct. Doesn’t taste much better, very watery with malt leading the way and a lighter hop presence. Mouth is thin with medium carbonation. This is easy as hell to drink but I don’t really get a reason to go back to this beer, even within the terrapin lineup.

12oz bottle into a lager glass. Pours darkish golden like light apple juice or dark... pee with a small white head that dances a bit and fades away. Smells and tastes like a sweet fruity lager but with just the right amount of ale yeast and hop smack and bitterness. The mouthfeel is in fact a bit creamy but with super high carbonation. Goes down nice and easy like it should.

Mine wasn’t the color of the photo up there. More like the golden color of a typical American Lager. Refreshing beer, however it was kind of sweet and average. Nothing to get excited about I am afraid.

Pours golden with light white head...yawn...very light smell of malts...flavor was flavored water. Guess this would be great intro to macro friends or at a cookout....just kinda weak In my opinion.

Hazy golden yellow with a soft white foam. Lightly bready aroma, a light lemon note. Taste is musty, might be a tad old, dry bread crust finish. Re-rate on tap at 5 Seasons Prado as Chug Monkey. Clear yellow, whitish head. Aroma is corn, musty, light fruit. Taste is cream ale standards, corny, lightly fruity, good body. Original rating: 7:3:6:3:11

Bottle: Thanks sis for the sample. There was something in there throwing it off, rye? wheat? grain? Drank at Doña Foccaccias b-Day BBQ.
